@tanguatlay,

I've always heard "in my experience", usually as the start of a statement. "In my experience, Able2know is one of the best websites for ESL questions." If you said "from my experience", I would know what you meant, but that's not the way I would say it.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say...

there is absolutely no difference between the two phrases.

@tsarstepan,

There is a difference, in my experience is more commonly used and sounds natural. From my experience isn't and doesn't.

@tanguatlay,

There is nothing wrong with From my experience but it's not so commonly used. It would be correct in the following sentence.

From my experience of working for seven years as architect, I can say that these plans won't work.

You would only use it if you're trying to convey some sort of authority/knowledge in a particular area.
